  • New Fort Cover
    The Law Magnified a Cultural Barrier by Andrew Harris Looking back at DADT so soon after its dismantling makes it tough to place exactly where it will fall in the record books of ill-advised military policy. Nevertheless, it is already clear that the policy’s corrosive effect extended be - yond gay service members. By the time of its repeal, DADT was at the epicenter of a growing distance between U.S. society and the members of the military sworn to defend it. My own history of military service—which began at a military college and cul - minated with combat service—demonstrates how much the general military atti - tude will have to change after DADT is a thing of the past. I matriculated at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in fall 2000, a year before September 2001 when the world became radically different for the military. DADT was less than a decade old. I had not known any openly gay students in high school, and VMI was an unlikely place to expand my horizons. At VMI gay people were virtually nonexistent, an afterthought, not fit for the spartan environment in Lex - ington, Virginia. While many fellow cadets disapproved of homosexuality on reli - gious grounds, I never heard anyone voice support for, or concern over, DADT. Homosexuals were simply “the other,” perhaps seen during a visit home or on a trip to another school, but in a college dealing with issues of gender integration (women were admitted in 1997), the civil rights of gay men and lesbians rarely came up. This attitude of nonacknowledgement is laughable when you account for the law of averages and the fact that several of my fellow alumni have since come out.
